BRAND NEW 4-PART ARCHIE PREMIUM EVENT LIMITED SERIES! Young Archie Andrews possesses super strength, super speed, invincibility, and an undying urge to do what’s right for the world. His only “weakness” is his need to see the good in others, no matter how terrible they may be. His beloved hometown of Riverdale isn’t the welcoming town it once was, Mr. Lodge tried to turn it into a more modern, luxury city instead, which pushed a lot of families out and left a lot of buildings uninhabited. A lot of the “old timers” stuck around, but without progress and the financial stability to keep anything viable, it’s looking more and more like a ghost town. Archie’s goal isn’t just to restore Riverdale to its former glory-it’s to bring it into the future, too. And in this first issue, we learn of how Archie became MR. JUSTICE, all from the perspective of his best friend, Jughead Jones. This is truly a love letter to THE BEST of Archie, for fans of series like Whatever Happened to the Man or Tomorrow? and Invincible.
Archie Comics expands into new genres and media every year, and it will round out 2024 with a giant leap in an explosive new superhero series, Archie is Mr. Justice! The comic, launching in November, reimagines flagship character Archie Andrews as a hero who has left his mark on Riverdale and gone away, leaving his friends to remember his selfless and incredible exploits.
The four-issue limited series begins with a story by writer Tim Seeleyand artist Mike Norton, told from the perspective of Archie’s best friend Jughead in an emotional recollection of how the pair discovered Archie’s hidden talents, designed his costume, and set off to save Riverdale —and the world.
That expansive cast populating Archie stories for over 80 years is the heart of the series, which will spotlight different POV characters in following issues as Riverdale looks back on the impact of Mr. Justice, for good or for ill. Each issue will feature a new creative team, as well, including Amanda Diebert, Blake Howard, Kenny Porter, Maria Laura Sanapo, and Brent Schoonover.
Longtime Archie fans may recognize Mr. Justice as a familiar figure from the “Mighty Crusaders” superhero line, dating back to the Golden Age of comics when the publisher was still known as MLJ Comics. This is a nod to Archie’s long history; in an interesting bit of meta play, these MLJ-era comics exist within the fictional universe of Archie is Mr. Justice and inspire Archie and Jughead to act when discovering Archie’s powers.
Archie is Mr. Justice #1releases November 20 in comic shops nationwide, with colors by Glenn Whitmore, lettering by Jack Morelli, and three open-to-order covers by Reiko Murakami, Francesco Francavilla, and Matt Talbot.
